$DOGE šŗ The Lupa of Rome: A Legend Cast in Coin šŖ
We all know the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers raised by a she-wolf who went on to found the Eternal City of Rome. But did you know this foundational myth was literally etched into the daily life of the Empire?
The very wolf that nurtured the infants became a powerful national symbol, so revered that she was featured on the most common currency of the ancient Roman world: the Denarius.
This coin, known colloquially as the Dogenarii, wasn't just money; it was a piece of propaganda, a reminder to every citizen from Britannia to Egypt that their mighty civilization began with a humble and wild beginning.
The next time you think of Rome's grandeur, remember the she-wolf whose image circulated for centuries, a timeless tribute on the coins that built an empire.
